virus
n. [from the obvious analogy with biological viruses,
via SF] A cracker program that searches out other programs and
`infects' them by embedding a copy of itself in them, so that they
become Trojan horses. When these programs are executed, the
embedded virus is executed too, thus propagating the `infection'.
